二人在回家路上，連簡單交談都無法維繫，將秋語蘭送至家門，何雲軒訝異於熟悉的身影出現在她家客廳。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMDXPxynpu

「二位回來了，相處怎麼樣？」呂青芳將兒子拉到一旁，見詢問無果，將矛頭指向約會的另一位：「阿語，今天可有趣？」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIfanPs0zO
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fQouw4UMx
秋語蘭支支吾吾地一時半刻也組織不出一句完整的語句。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfurXDCRlFJ
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaL6xD4TgNM

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQykbEWFCG
二人皆將震驚溢於言表，但二人後續得情緒截然不同，何雲軒的情緒較為羞澀與不解，秋語蘭則是嫌棄與憤怒。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwmKrTUlhy
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeENv0COkpI

何雲軒看向身旁的人，她眼神銳利，抿著嘴雙手握拳，顯然對於突如其來的消息無法認可，何雲軒想再說，卻被呂青芳帶走：「我們先離去，下回見。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5OmNY9LT5A
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCzBQFceVV
秋語蘭對著擦身而過的母子頷首示意，面目可憎地走向方才未開口的招弟：「為何隨意決定我的婚事。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnSTaYxsYP
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYBjtTGWvd
「有何不妥？雲軒無論哪項都無可挑剔。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBbGztCXdC

不等秋語蘭反駁，招弟走進房間拿出斑斕的衣物，秋語蘭一眼就明瞭是什麼，秋語蘭語氣仍壓抑著情緒：「還給我。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UcGBNtPuc
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1XbPCtZjY
「這就是阻礙你無法接受這樁婚事的最大主因，我幫你斷了念想。」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwDrdQdZPj
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQKOe0NYE
招弟取出剪刀不等秋語蘭反應，便將衣裳剪破不只一處，後者心急如焚每一刀都如同劃在自身，情緒已無從壓抑：「不要！」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5yInQNgrx

劇烈的吵鬧聲驚醒家人，大家都來到客廳，秋國盛見此景象率先開口：「阿語，跟娘說話是這樣的嗎？」206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcL0m817J9

秋語蘭一襲鮮紅色嫁衣坐在自家客廳雙眉緊蹙並且閉著眼，任由旁人在她臉上塗抹，家裡父母親忙進忙出，此時，爆竹聲由彼處飄來。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVoo85HAmk

經過一番繁文縟節後，喜悅之情溢於言表的新郎，踏進客廳，往已蓋上紅頭紗的新娘走去，只是伸出手，卻未取得回應。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSHoILel6C
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHIgX1yU1g
眾人沈默一會，連鳥兒都慌張地叫出聲，振翅而飛，新娘卻未有動作，似乎世間時間霎時間暫停，讓招弟急得上前，抬起她的手輕柔地放至何雲軒手上。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKsk4pERQi
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrRTs7NZqN
眾人的時間得以重新流逝，掌聲如雷，何雲軒牽著秋語蘭的手，行至花轎前。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8l7PwjPtUg
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHcpFtrEaM
花轎前頭垂至地面，使秋語蘭輕易跨出步伐，在轎子裡坐穩後她示意何雲軒，後者領意，將布簾放下並跨上馬匹，眾人司其職地啟程不同於來時的路線返回。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1cWaf1luc
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEy2nulU3B
秋語蘭被帶離自家，爆竹聲不絕於耳，震耳欲聾，世間已無其餘聲響，如此，內心的聲音格外宏亮。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQzFFy2zVR

成親之於秋語蘭未有任何實感，她從花轎上，拉開布簾，端詳著外面，有人點著炮竹，有人抬著花轎、有人興奮地喊著，唯有她還未入戲。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbwakr3vIb
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3qTKUXLuE

206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe26d0fnP6G
成親時的樣子，兩人身著嫁衣的般配，喜宴旁應搭個戲台讓穿著婚服的谷翊上台演出，諸如此類，如今淪為笑話。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefPTZtnE64
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BgYniQ6nP
「他甚至不喜愛看戲。」爆竹聲毫不留情地吞噬秋語蘭的話，未留下任何痕跡，秋語蘭毫不在意地笑著。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22grr0oN6l
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2AGV3NH0a

雪花緩降，落在血紅色嫁衣上，格外刺眼，也襯托著二人的婚禮。何雲軒望向身旁的秋語蘭，揣測著她心中的念想。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqcC4Y5cRN
206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6DpdTh7EZ
家門面前擺放無數的禮品，秋語蘭霎時間獲取實感，眼前的住所既熟悉又陌生，已然注定為往後餘生的住所，淚水奪眶而出，身子也止不住地抽動。206Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDTwrQONQb

走進家門，何雲軒爹娘端坐在右側，家中四處能見紅色布置，擺放在正中的神桌，何家列祖列宗見證著此次婚姻，秋語蘭對祂們只覺陌生且不解，二人一同轉身，雙膝著地，聞禮生高聲叫喊：「一拜天地。」
